To solve the problem of determining the curve on which the perpendicular tangents drawn to the hyperbola \(\frac{x^2}{25} - \frac{y^2}{16} = 1\) intersect, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the hyperbola parameters The given hyperbola is in the standard form \(\frac{x^2}{a^2} - \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1\), where: - \(a^2 = 25\) (thus \(a = 5\)) - \(b^2 = 16\) (thus \(b = 4\)) ### Step 2: Determine the equation of the director circle ...
